Pennsylvania lemon law FAQs

Real questions Pennsylvania consumers ask. Plain English answers.

Does the Pennsylvania lemon law cover used vehicles?+

73 Pa. Stat. § 1951 (Pennsylvania Automobile Lemon Law) primarily covers new vehicles. The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (MMWA) frequently extends to used vehicles that came with any written warranty, manufacturer remaining warranty, certified pre-owned warranty, or a dealer's used-car warranty. We evaluate whether your case fits state law, federal MMWA, or both.

How many repair attempts does Pennsylvania require?+

Pennsylvania's statutory presumption: 3 repair attempts OR 30 days out of service in first year / 12,000 miles. Federal MMWA does not set a fixed number, it requires a 'reasonable opportunity' for the manufacturer to repair, which is fact-specific.

Do I have to arbitrate before suing in Pennsylvania?+

Pennsylvania arbitration rules: Manufacturer-sponsored arbitration is required if certified. Federal MMWA claims generally do NOT require manufacturer-sponsored arbitration as a prerequisite to suit.

Who pays my attorney fees in a Pennsylvania lemon law case?+

Under federal MMWA, the manufacturer pays the consumer's reasonable attorney fees when the consumer prevails. 73 Pa. Stat. § 1951 (Pennsylvania Automobile Lemon Law) also typically allows fee recovery. Lemonaid Firm works on contingency, no fees out of your pocket.
